Subject: [PATCH 1/2] mm, memory_hotplug: is_mem_section_removable do not pass the end of a zone

From: Michal Hocko <mhocko@...e.com>

Mikhail has reported the following VM_BUG_ON triggered when reading
sysfs removable state of a memory block:
 page:000003d082008000 is uninitialized and poisoned
 page dumped because: VM_BUG_ON_PAGE(PagePoisoned(p))
 Call Trace:

 Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception: panic_on_oops

The reason is that the memory block spans the zone boundary and we are
stumbling over an unitialized struct page. Fix this by enforcing zone
range in is_mem_section_removable so that we never run away from a
zone.
